Shoulder Arthroscopy

Overview

After knee arthroscopy, shoulder arthroscopy is the second most common orthopedic surgery. Orthopedic surgery focuses on the treatment of joints, bones, muscles, ligaments, and tendons. One of the most prevalent types of shoulder arthroscopy is rotator cuff surgery.

Shoulder arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgery used to detect and treat issues with the shoulder. Arthroscopy may be required if you have rotator cuff injuries or shoulder impingement. Minimally invasive surgery necessitates smaller incisions than regular surgery. Every incision is roughly the size of a keyhole.

Shoulder arthroscopy assists physicians in locating and treating shoulder discomfort that has not responded to conventional therapies. Physical therapy, medication, injections, and rest are among nonsurgical therapies for shoulder discomfort.
